Georgia has no single public index of every trial court case; each court's records are looked up through that court.
The Georgia Criminal History and Your Own Copy
Georgia is one of the states that lets anyone look up another person's statewide criminal history: Georgia Felon Search lets anyone check felony convictions online by name, through the Georgia Crime Information Center. The result is the repository record, what agencies reported to the state, which is wider than one county's court index but can lag it.
To see your own record, the route is a fingerprint-based request through Georgia Applicant Processing Services. The state page SearchSystems verified for it is at gbi.georgia.gov/services/obtaining-criminal-history-record-informat....

The FBI's agency list also places one more agency in Peach County: Fort Valley State University (campus police); it keeps the records of its own arrests.
